You are one strong teenager. The way you took a stand for your child and running out of that abortion clinic was fantastic. Personally i wouldn't be able to comprehend if I got pregnant. Being a child of a single teenage mother has taught me all of the hard ships that come along with parenting. School is a thing. A very important thing in our society and my mom finished high school and college knowing that she had to provide for her child. and that is just what she did. She loved me, cared for me, fed me, spent plenty of sleepless nights studying to make sure she can provide in the near future. On top of going to school and being with me she also worked numerous jobs. My mother has taught me a lot in my life time about the hardships of being a teenage mother.
Personally I believe that you and Bleaker made the perfect decision. Giving your child to someone who have been ready for that moment all of their lives was the best idea. I think this because you two were obviously not ready for a child. Being that you two are still in high school and made the decision to have sex when you were bored shows that you two are definitely not ready to become parents at such a young age. Yes you guys are dating and you were bored but that does not mean that its okay for you to have unprotected sex. The least you could have done was put a condom on and none of this would have never happened. being bored is not the time to let your hormones rage because ultimately if you are not protected it can lead to becoming pregnant.
This leads me into thinking that you two did not pay attention in health class when the subject o sex came up. Yes it is a silly subject to be talking about around your peers but you could have learned a thing or two about what sex can lead to. For all you know Juno Bleaker could have had an Sexually Transmitted Disease that he could have given to you. And the scary part is that you would not have even known. See even the simplest task like putting a condom on can save you from a life time of hurt. You also would have learned about birth control. It could have also prevented you from getting pregnant and having to go through all of that. But like I said earlier, wear a condom for crying out loud, it can prevent many things from happening from transferring an STD to becoming pregnant.
As for carrying out your term until birth is fantastic. Although I am Pro-Choice I do believe that people should at least think of the other people that the child can make happy. but given some of the circumstances that these women are put in times can be tough and an abortion can seem like the better decision not only for them but for the child. I believe that every women has a choice as to do with their own body. I mean she is the one that has to live with it so I think that she can choose to have an abortion or not. These women should also not be judged because of what they decide to do. It is our right to privacy and people have no right to judge a person because they did what was best for them. People who do this i believe are just mean people who think only about their beliefs and not the given situations.
But with your courage and support from your parents you made the best decision with giving your child to someone else. Even though people looked at you weird in the halls you still strutted your stuff and was proud for your child. (or at least that's the impression that i got) Remember the look on her face when she saw her new child (the child you gave birth to)? She was by far the happiest person on earth and that was all because of you. Because you brought a child into the world and selflessly gave it to her. Juno be proud of the actions that you did and next time you two are bored buy a condom.
